👩🍳Meal Plan and Recipe Notes
Here are some tips to keep in mind when using ground beef for meal planning:
- Buy in Bulk! Purchasing ground beef in larger quantities will help you save money.
- If you purchase ground beef in bulk, separate the package into portion sizes for a meal for your family and freeze! Wrap the beef in aluminum foil and then add it to a freezer-safe plastic bag. Don't forget to label and date the bag!
- Balance the protein with other ingredients by adding vegetables and grains to your meal planning. This will make the meal nutritionally balanced.
- Aim for leaner cuts of beef to lower the fat intake. You can also combine ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
- When browning beef for one recipe, consider browning extra and freezing that portion. That way it's ready to go when you need to create a fast meal.
